Blue Colossal Whale Weve got enough finishers in the six-plus mana range (counting Aetherling as either a six- or seven-drop), and all of the ones available are better than the Whale, which provides no immediate value and doesnt do that much even if it attacks for a turn or two without dying
That means you could get not just a creature or even an artifact like Beacon of Unrest, but you can grab a big enchantment or planeswalker
Its a very strong card, and even just looting a few times and phasing out somebodys Commander is a strong effect for four mana
It is a card that's heavy on the color requirements so it can be strong to make up for that
Theres a ton of power in here, but theres also a ton of flavor, since all your basic lands are the Colorless Wastes
It was possible to recruit monsters to your side and control them like any other unit
